Fuel economy

[alexanderfoti]

Hi all

I have now done just over 900 miles on my diesel bike (With only one breakdown wehay!) much better than my old diesel bike, which was basically a learning step. First time welding, building a motorbike etc etc.

anyway, I have been using the new one to commute into london, and to run errands around town. I am currently getting around 120 mpg (UK) running on WVO w 10% petrol, this is normally sitting in a lot of traffic though, what are other people getting?

Sluggy returns between 140 and 180 mpg in mixed commuting.

Not bad at all! It would be good to get a thread going of everybodys fuel economy? (not sure if everybody is as sad as me to track this stuff)

I did think I saw something but couldnt find anything on the search.

Apologies if this is a duplicate.

Thought I saw it somewhere. I searched for "Imperial" guessing that the difference between it and US mpg had to have been mentioned

Here it is

Would make a good sticky actually

Best 172 mpg. worst 100 In solo . With sidecar. Best 140 mpg worst 80 mpg . Low mpg is full of camping stuff and head wind.to mutch stuff.

Sean, it's hard to have too much sympathy on your low mpg when this is your 'camping stuff'

[alexanderfoti]

Haha 80mpg is pretty good with all the lot! Lol.
